 The Freak Mountain Ramblers present their sizeable loyal audience with a unique brew of Americana with twists of rockabilly, bluegrass, offbeat humor, and sensitivity. The Oregonian states that "Much of the band's music has the folkie-gone-electric feel that was the original idea behind the Grateful Dead. The Freak Mountain Ramblers are old pros - and sound like it. With a lineup including 3 members (bassist Dave Reisch, drummer Roger North, and fiddler Lex Browning) of the inimitable and notorious Holy Modal Rounders/Clamtones bands of the '70s and '80s, FMR has its roots in the underbelly of the alternative music scene that existed at that time." A single rotation through the lineup can start with an original slide guitar country blues from Jim Boyer, move to a tale of a non-stop talker at a neighborhood bar by Dave Reisch, on to a ripping guitar-led tune about the shady side of Southern small town culture from Lex Browning, then to an old-timey jug band sounding "Rich Gal, Poor Gal" number from Turtle Vandemarr. It's no wonder Freaks recent shows are packed with some of the most interesting music fans around.
